Surprise Blog Hop, Blog Candy & Some Exciting News!!!

Hello my crafty friends!!I hope your Monday is off to a good start! I'm going to get all mushy on you now for a moment and I promise you that I do have some eyes watering up. If you have been following me, you have heard me mention a few times over the past couple of months that I had huge things happening that I could not talk about. Some of you had taken your guesses and tried very sneaky-ish to make me spill but today I will reveal it all. Before you read on, please know that I appreciate all of you for all your kind words, encouragement and support and friendship. Without you, I could not be able to share this news with you today. So let's get to our hop and the great news, shall we?? =)

Welcome to Jo’s Scrap Shack’s Surprise Blog Hop! Why a “surprise” hop? Well up until now it had to be kept as a surprise but today…is the day another dream comes true!

Ready for the surprise? Today’s hop is the first day of a 4 day hop and the new launch and release of a brand new company called “3 Twenty Crafts”!

3 Twenty Crafts is my dream come true. It is my new and very own paper crafting company & stamp line!!! I have waited such a very long time to be able to go into my own business and today I get to share it with all of you! So how this is going to work... Every day until Thursday, we will show you a brand new stamp set from 3 Twenty Crafts and trust me, you don’t want to miss this!

The stamp set that we show each day will be given away to one lucky winner, but in order to win the set you must hop along and visit each design team member’s blog, leave a comment and then comment back here and let me know that you have completed the hop! The winner will be random and nobody knows which blog the winner will be chosen from. So make sure to visit each blog and leave some bloggy love! Today we are showing you the new and awesome stamp set “Happy Harvest”

This is what I created using this stamp set.

I decided to create a nice fall card with a matching gift box. My CS is by Recollections, patterned paper is from DCWV and the stamps are MINE from my new set "Happy Harvest"! Oh boy does that feel strange typing out!

I used the turkey, leaves and sentiment from the stamp set to create this card. This is a standard A2 sized card. I colored in the turkey and leaves using my copics and added some faux stitching. I decided to use some twine from The Twinery and wrapped it around my card and tied into a bow. My turkey is on foam pop dots for some added dimension and I stamped the sentiment "Autumn Blessings" in CTMH "Barnyard Red" ink. All my edges were inked using some tea dye distress ink.

﻿

For the gift box, I stamped out the sentiment, "Happy Thanksgiving" in the same ink and created this sentiment into a little banner. It is also popped up on some foam tape. From the stamp set, I used the leaves, wheat and obviously the sentiment. I used more twine and tied it around a couple of the leaves. This box can hold 3 to 4 small, individual sized candy bars, a small gift such as a keychain or some money! I created this cute set for my mom for her Thanksgiving Day present. Inside the box, I plan on giving her some cash with a few of her favorite candies, Hershey kisses!

Well my friends that is my project for today. I sure hope you have enjoyed hearing my good news and I hope that I continue to get your support and love, as this is a new journey for me.

Just a reminder.. in order to win Happy Harvest, visit each blog along the hop and leave a comment, then come back and let me know you did! Also, all four sets that will be released this week will be available for purchasing on Thursday, November 21st at 3pm and will ship out on Monday, November 25th! My website is still being worked on a bit this week but will be ready for you by the end of the week to have a look around and to purchase any of the stamps you will see this week.

Soooo are you ready for some Blog Hoppin Fun???

Congrats Jo on your new venture. I'm going to start here first before going on with the HOP. First I love your cards and the Harvet stamp and the Christmas stamp. Good luck!!!!!Now I'm going to do the blog HOP.

I have to admit when I first saw this stamp set I was wondering what I would do with that bottle and glass or even the hat but after visiting everyone on the hop I know exactly what to do with it. I love the set and your hop really inspired me on how to use things I wouldn't have thought I would use. I loved the hop and I everyone did a wonderful job. Plus, I love this stamp set....all of it, including the bottle and glass. As for you.....Congratulations again! Great stamp set and I love your projects for the hop. That card is sooooo cute! I love the way you did the edges of the turkey with the black dashes and then the leaves with the white. It really makes them stand out. Great job!
